 Checking out a thorn before the flesh creates the arrangements directory.
 When checking out the flesh (which contains this directory) an error
 occurs:
 {{{
 svn: Failed to add directory 'arrangements': an unversioned directory of
 the same name already exists
 }}}
 Usually, this does not happen as the flesh is mentioned first in
 thornlists. However, when using parallel checkouts it might actually be
 the case (and did happen for me). Running the same command a second time
 didn't produce this problem, which confirms that this is very much timing-
 dependent.
Possible solutions:
 1) A notion to tell GetComponents about dependencies
 2) A notion to tell Getcomponents about 'breakpoints', a poor-mans version
 of 1)
 3) Removing the 'arrangements' directory from the flesh repository
